I know feel horrible that it has been so long since I logged in. You are one of the great ones. Your friendship means more than I can express. I love you also!

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

If you are doing cold calls or using a service that "sets appointments" for you, then you are unethical in my opinion and should be put out of business. I would love to hear how you legitimize to yourself this behavior.

Welcome to the era of your life that includes random soreness and bruises. I have one on my arm I just noticed and have no idea where it came from. Damn age, but still better than not aging.

Am I the only one that thinks "I bet they are lost" when they see OSINT challenges posted? Like hey dude, we get it, I have no idea where I am either!

Today I am in a wonderful place in my life. Personally I am happy. I am in a ridiculously supportive relationship and looking forward to what the future brings. Professionally I am continuing forward with a growing company, and I am getting to do the things I like for the most part. ๐Ÿ™‚

Over the last year I have worked pretty hard to change this and have been amazingly supported by more people than I ever imagined cared.

This morning, I was thinking about the past and where I am. About a year ago I was in the deepest depression I have experienced. As I have talked openly about, I was suicidal and pretty dark.

I am not sure how someone would think this is reasonable to do. Idiots. Trans rights are rights. Of course everyone should support them and speak up about them. idiots. Now I am angry.

Good point. In this case the friend called and asked if a reference was ok, and gave me the name of the person who would call. So it was vetted. Still hate these calls.

Started rewatching West Wing the other day. I let it run in the background. Anyone else get teary or emotional during various scenes in it?
